On the other hand, she could just be concentrating very hard in order to descend those steps in those heels and those shades without holding onto anything.

Annie, it’s okay. Oscar winners use bannisters and railings, just like the regular people. No one will think less of you. Think of Fantine, darling. Wouldn’t she hold onto that railing, protecting herself from the humiliation and danger of public falls in case she should ever see her darling Cosette again? That railing is HOPE, Annie-Fantine. GRASP IT with both hands and SING.

Oddly, Anne Hathaway doesn’t look “snooty” to me so much as exhausted from her flight.

AudreysMom

my thought exactly. Those first couple pictures looks like she’s looking up and thinking, ‘oh great. I’m being photographed. Of course. (sigh).’

j_anson

I bet that’s exactly what she’s thinking and I think it’s totally reasonable. I honestly don’t get the Anne Hathaway hate. What in hell did she do except go on shows she was invited to be on, and be open about the fact that she wanted to win something that we all know every actor and actress wants to win? Sheesh.

TheGal

I’m with you She doesn’t look snooty at all. She just looks really tired.

sk8tfan

I’m with you. She looks cute and tired. She’s not flipping the bird at fans, she doesn’t look stoned, she’s not making insulting comments about her directors or coworkers, I have never heard of her behaving in a mean or unprofessional manner, she’s not showing up unkempt and with stringy greasy hair. She’s not committing any of my major celebrity pet peeves (a la Kristen Stewart, Katherine Heigle and their ilk.) She’s a talented, hard working actress who won a well-deserved Oscar, who is also very pretty, dresses in interesting ways, and has a hot husband. Other than the fact that I covet her life, I have no quarrel with her. She doesn’t actually have to be my friend.

You know, I was SO CLOSE to making it through awards season without hating her. But then she said that simpering “It came true” as she cradled her Oscar statue and that was the moment I wanted to bitchslap her.

But I haven’t thought of her since, really. And she does look cute here.

Y’know, that didn’t bother me, though when she said it, I immediately thought “people are going to HATE her for saying that.” But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with admitting that winning the Oscar was something that she was hoping or praying for. I would have wanted to bitchslap her if she’d said “I’m so shocked, I didn’t expect this!” because I would have known that that was a load of BS.

Intent.
One STRIVES to make a primo bitchface. One UNINTENTIONALLY gives off the air of snooty.

Plin

That distinction makes sense, although I’m guessing that there are some unintentional bitchfaces and perfectly deliberate snootycheeks out there. But if intent is the only real difference, it seems kind of unfair to judge from a photo which one we’re looking at.

I think TLo were having some fun with us (and Annie) – making up a script for how and why she looks the way she does here…and getting a chance to halt the hate is a good thing.

I want to believe that once you get a couple of cocktails in her and surround her with good friends, that she is fun, light of heart, and dirty in humor. There’s nothing wrong with being a theater geek, even if you are a millionaire movie star, just have some fun with it all. It could be worse, you could be sitting at a desk, in a stuffy office, barely making enough to keep afloat and reading fashion blogs to make the days pass faster.

I want to believe this with you. I want to believe that Anne is a sucker for a Pina Colada and when you give her two of them after you first arrive at the bar, so she can walk around double fisting, as you do, by the time she is half finished the first one she is making us cry with laughter and telling us entirely inappropriate stories. 🙂

Also I would like to believe that she swears like Deb from Dexter, adding the F word to all kinds of inappropriate things.

LaineyGossip had both this outfit and the one she changed into later the same day. I was hoping to get your take on that one! (Cream flutter pleat sleeves, tight white jeans, yellow handbag, a wine whose label I cannot identify.)

I was getting annoyed with her during awards season (more from being oversaturated with appearances than anything else) and then I saw her on Chelsea Lately and she was cool and funny and my love was restored.

Anne looks great. The jeans are fun.

fringebenefit

If millions of people developed an irrational hatred for you, you’d probably feel a little defensive when you looked into a camera.

Perhaps she is a germophobe and that’s why she’s not grasping the rail?

lexilexi

For some reason, that would not surprise me. Good call.

halleygee

I think she looks amazing here, would wear that whole outfit and especially the jeans, love Paige Denim.

alyce1213

I don’t care what she wears any more. Irrational hate,

lrober03

How long until the placement of her coat shows up in some tabloid as “Anne’s Pregnant!”?

stubbornthoughts

Or she’s just coming off a long flight and is a little drunk and tired and just wants to go home but instead is being photographed. I see nothing wrong not smiling at the cameras once you’ve already gotten your Oscar.

I was annoyed by Anne Hathaway before everyone else decided to pick on her. I never figured out what bugged me. I still liked her when she hosted the award show with James Franco. He was terrible. She was pretty sharp. I think it’s a simple case of being in the spotlight too much. I for one think it’s stupid to lose weight for a movie role. Hugh Jackman did it, too. (He didn’t even get the Oscar for losing all that weight.) Several male actors have done it. I think it’s taking a role far too seriously for the sake of art. Shaving your head: same thing but not quite as bad. Losing weight and gaining it again can have health implications. It might be that she comes across to others that she takes herself too seriously. I’m trying to articulate what might bug people. I also think–since her hair is short–that she thinks she’s Audrey Hepburn and all that. I don’t know Anne. I’m describing what I think might bother others. People are down on her for being so successful and getting so much attention. I think Anne just needs to lie low for a bit. Maybe she already is. And things will change. She has a cute personality.

She does look snooty; it’s the sunglasses.

Trisha26

Love the outfit. I never had the AH hate, I think she’s extremely talented, but Les Mis was a fiasco for all involved and her Oscar-campaigning was inexcusable.

VioletFem

This post reminds me of how some guys will sometime come up to young women while she’s walking down the street implore her to “smile sweety!” When ages just minding her own business. Apparently, if your not walking around with a big smile own your face ( or whatever) after you get off a flight you look snooty (as opposed to just tired). Her outfit us cute though.

This comment reminds me of people who come to this site every day and enjoy themselves until we say something about a celebrity they like and then they act all bent out of shape even though this is what we do all day, every day.

I only have to go back less than a week to find you talking about a celebrity on your irrational hate list.

Call me Bee

Yeah I don’t think Anne is actually snooty. She’s just drawn that way. And you are so right about the jeans. Cool.

jw_ny

the sunglasses are overwhelming her face…not flattering. The rest is cute.

As for the railing…she probably doesn’t have her purell on her…wouldn’t dare risk catching something common…

I kid…I don’t think she’s snooty at all…more like awkward and compensating for it.

All of this works for me. I want the jeans too. I wonder if I could DIY them with a pair of Uniqlo skinnies, masking tape and some bleach…
I have a sweater that looks like that, and I’ve pretty much worn a variation on this outfit a couple times this spring (colorful scarf, beige sweater, cropped statement pants).

paintedfish

To quote an aged Marlene Dietrich, “A wegend doesn’t use a wailing.”

Lisa M. (ReVoir) Kramp

I dig everything about her outfit, and she’s a braver woman than I for not grabbing the railing.

The jeans exaggerate her reverse bow-leggedness. They make her look like her knees could bend backwards. like those aliens in The Arrival. The angle of the last picture doesn’t help this illusion. Her hair’s cute, though.

Imasewsure

Unfortunate attitude but great stuff. Love the jeans!

JauntyJohn

I like the top half better than the bottom half, but that’s not to say the bottom half doesn’t work. As for the expression, I hope for her sake it signals a new “Fine. Hate me. Whatever.” mode which is no doubt an easier space to live in.

ccm800

that face says: “Anne Hathaway is tired of your shit”

lizlemonglasses

Her style just wears. me. out.

Tuneful54

She is not, nor will she ever be, Audrey Hepburn.
That said, she look cute here, and at least is not neighing for our attention, a relief given the past few months.

muelonil

Dont worry dear Anne, even if you fall down the stairs they still give you am Oscar, just ask Jennifer Lawrence.
